Hi, "navaid" may not be the best term since it is used in aviation for actual physical installations that help with navigations, like radio beacons or lights. I am also concerned about the verifiability; is there not a danger that people will disagree about what the "best" way is to reach something?
Hi there, I'm not thinking about anything that would have to be used in every address, but in cases where there are really wrong routings. I live at a place where increasingly people (craftsmen, delivery services) don't find our address because the building is closer to another street than to the street with the entrance. And there is no possibility to get to the house from this other street. In this case it is a very easily verifiable information. Go to the street with the correct name, look for the correct house number and see the entrance. This is in this case the "best" way to reach it (and in this case the only way). But this matching of street name and routing is not easily done from the OSM-data, and not done by any routing application based on osm at all. (I guess google maps uses additional information about the "best point", not available in osm). And: there are cases where the access is not from the street of the address. (Usually you have signs like "for xyzstreet 5-7 use entrance from abcstreet", sometimes a little map).
Have you considered to, instead of using a relation that links sources and destinations (and btw I'd swap the terms in your examples) simply placing a node on the street network that is tagged as an "access point" for a certain address, without the relation and all?
IMHO that could be a possibility, allowing for the use of the addr:xyz tags on points of a highway. But that could result in several very close points for places, where you can reach several addresses from just single point of the highway, eg. terraced houses.
